Join with us to learn about and celebrate three projects related to bird monitoring and conservation in the Lakehead.  Thunder Bay Field Naturalists have supported over the years Project Peregrine, the Thunder Cape Bird Observatory and the Christmas Bird Count. This support has come in terms of financial support and countless volunteer hours.  Brian Ratcliff will describe the background and achievements of Project Peregrine, which has achieved its objective of helping bring Peregrine falcons back from the brink. Al Harris will highlight the achievements of the Thunder Cape Bird Observatory, and especially the trends detected from this significant monitoring effort that is contributing to a broad understanding of local and regional trends in migratory and resident bird population health. Finally, as we approach the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) season, Bill Greaves and Nick Escott will share the longer-term trends revealed in the local and regional CBC data and some of the highlights from this long-running citizen science project. You will hear about plans for this year and how you may get involved.
